One Goal: Learn

As we reach the end of 2015, many of you are setting your goals for 2016. For those goals related to health or business, I challenge you to do one thing with each goal: learn all you can in the process. Here’s what I mean.

 

Health Goals

Most of you will set a weight or fitness goal. Fantastic. You’re probably going to use an established program, you’ll follow it, and you’ll get results. Excellent. What do you do when you achieve your goal, whether it takes a few months or the entire year . . .

Holiday Stretch: Your Way

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question about how you’re planning to keep the weight off during the holiday stretch. I think these strategies are terrific. The one thing they share is that everyone has thought about it and decided on a plan of action. Working the plan day to day will be a challenge, but those readers know what they will do. Read them all for ideas that you can put in your holiday stretch. Some readers wrote very extensive emails, and I thank you all for that; I read every one. I edited . . .
